I recntly finished the 3 stitch hat and am not too happy with it. I used a long tail cast on as this is the one we teach with and row 1 of instructions says to knit that row then to the 1 x 1 ribbing. i ended up with a ridge on both sides. It looks nothing like the picture. I am thinking that the simple cast on should be used even though we don't teach it. Has anyone else run into this or did I miss something ???
